i love you like the sun loves the moon—
too far apart
to share the same sky.
you wanted stillness,
a life with roots.
i wanted movement,
a life with wings.
we tried to meet
in the middle,
but love
couldn’t bridge
the distance.
so i let you go,
not because i stopped loving you,
but because staying
meant losing
ourselves.
some love shines forever,
but ours was the kind
that had to end
to set us free.
you were everything I could ever want and more. i was nothing to you.
